I can be a better me than anyone can.

I don't know what my life would have been like if I'd never gotten into show business.

I use Jimmy Galanos gowns for real special occasions and things - television, special occasions where I know I'm being filmed. But I never really wear his gowns on stage. My stage gowns are more costumey. There's different levels of things that I wear.I would never wear my stage gowns to a party.

I want to live in Paris for a couple of years. I'm dying to do the Josephine Baker story. I really want to be there and do it. It's certainly my intention to do it.

I try to choose the songs that really are basically coming from my heart. I think that through the songs that I select, people know what's going on in my life.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.

You can have a lot of New York and still see what's going on in the rest of the world, I think - like in China.
